The “Morning Joe” crew even allowed Ayers to describe his terrorism as “extreme tactics,” as opposed to what it really was: a bombing campaign of government buildings, including the Pentagon and United States Capitol. Ayers once dedicated a book to Sirhan Sirhan, the convicted assassin of Robert Kennedy.

What a striking and revealing contrast between the “Morning Joe” crew’s respectful treatment of an unrepentant left-wing enemy of America and the relentless derision and name-calling this same herd regularly hurls at conservative lawmakers and the everyday Americans who make up the Tea Party.
